Hydroxyl Ions (OH) Are a
Powerful Air Purification Process
The Air Oasis brands of
Air Purifiers that we carry use a unique nano Nickle catalytic hydration
process to create powerful purifying hydroxyls, or hydroxyl
ions (OH), which are, in turn, used to create additional friendly oxidizers
to purify the air. These natural air-cleansing agents, which are formed when ozone, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI)
and moisture (humidity) are combined, produce powerful oxidants that
are significantly more powerful than plain ozone. These molecules
have been described as "the single most important cleansing
agent in the earth's atmosphere.
The
Air Oasis process allows these air purifiers to only require a very
small amount of ozone to produce large amounts
of hydroxyls using the natural humidity in the air. Hydroxyl
ions, which occur naturally in our atmosphere, are more effective
at oxidizing pollutants in the air than ozone, and 2.5 times more
germicidal and fungicidal than chlorine, making them the most effective
method of destroying mold, bacteria, viruses and germs that you can
buy. Hydroxyls have also been proven effective at eliminating
chemical fumes, vapors and unpleasant odors, much more so than plain
ozone. Hydroxyl ions break down hazardous organic compounds and are
a major catalyst in the chain reaction necessary for contaminant
oxidation.
Why Are Hydroxyls an Important Part of Our Air?
Hydroxyls
are the atmosphere's natural filter. Several recent studies have
brought to light some alarming facts:
According
to a recent New York Times article (May, 2001), hydroxyl radicals
are thought by atmospheric chemistry scientists to purge more than
half the sulfur dioxide added to the air by smokestacks, volcanoes
and other sources.
An international study being
conducted over the Indian Ocean which, in part, measured hydroxyl ion
levels, led a team of atmospheric experts to conclude that without
hydroxyl ions, air pollution can remain at toxic and harmful levels
for much longer, increasing the likelihood of negative effect on humans.
More than half a million people die in India every year of pollution-related
respiratory ailments; similar numbers are recorded in other Asian
countries. It is a known fact that hydroxyl ions are necessary for
natural air cleansing and toxin removal. Hydroxyls are why our
planet hasn't choked itself to death and the reason we can live in
our cities.
How
Air Oasis Air Purifiers Produce Powerful Hydroxyl Ions
The
Air Oasis line of air purifiers produce just enough ozone -- and
it is a very small amount; as low as .01 to .02 or less -- to enable
the production of hydroxyl ions. Ozone, or O3, is produced by the Ultraviolet (UV)
Lamp (these technologies do not use the older corona
discharge method) inside the unit. Other wavelengths of light
produced by this lamp break the O3 into O2 (oxygen) and O1 (oxygen
singlets). The O1 molecules are highly reactive and will readily
combine with hydrogen (H) atoms that are found in the natural humidity
in the air to make OH -- hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals
are an extremely powerful air purifying agent, much more so than
ozone and without the undesirable side effects commonly associated
with air cleaners whose primary method of air cleansing is ozone.
The
new patent-pending AHPCO™ by Air Oasis is the latest advancement
in Photo hydro ionization technology. Air Oasis has developed a
proprietary broad spectrum, high efficiency UV bulb (HE/UVTM) to
work with Air Oasis' hydrated quad-metallic target and PPC-UV bulb
coating, also a fiber optics quartz indicator light. The target
acts as a catalyst for a hydroxyl radical reaction of the broad
spectrum 100-300 nm HE/UVTM energy with water vapor on the hydrated
target. The results are hydro peroxides, super oxide ions, passive
negative ions hydroxides and ozonide ions. This is truly a breakthrough
in air purification technology -- and only Air Oasis has it.
Air Oasis Breakthrough G3 UV Air Purification Technology!

Save $50 to $125 on Select Models
No
air purifier on the market can compete in effectiveness, energy efficiency,
adaptability and quiet operation, when compared to the Air Oasis G3 patent-pending
Nano Nickel HCT photocatalytic oxidation technology. Other oxidation brands
use only titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a catalyst, the cheapest, most available
catalyst metal on the market, whereas Air Oasis contains five rare catalyst
metals and nano size metals to increase the kinetic rate of reaction.
Unlike HEPA filters that only remove some particulate and carbon filters that
only remove chemicals, VOCs and odors, Air Oasis technology is proven
effective against MRSA, bacteria, molds, VOCs, chemicals, gases, odors, pollen,
dander and more. Extensive testing conducted by West Texas A&M University
at BSA Hospital confirm that Air Oasis not only purifies your air, but sanitizes
surfaces, too. Additionally,
Air Oasis Air Purifers are made in the USA, using brushed aluminum casings
and UV lamps that utilize a proprietary long life
coating, allowing them to outlast any UV lamp on the market. Read

Your Unique Problem
or Application
It's no mystery that the air inside our homes, offices and nearly every building
we enter is contaminated with
toxic air pollution problems. But wading through the plethora of air purification
technologies and models to make our living and working space free of pollution
can be a daunting task, especially with the misinformation presented by so
many salespeople and web sites. There are many different air purification technologies
and air filters on the market, but no one air purifier technology can solve
every air pollution problem, which is why we carry different brands. For help
